Tenkai Knights: Brave Battle announced for 3DS

Namco Bandai has announced Tenkai Knights: Brave Battle, a new game for 3DS based on the animated action TV series.

Tenkai Knights: Brave Battle contains 2D robot action gameplay. Players can choose to live the Tenkai Knight experience in Story mode, which is mission-based. A Versus mode will also be included so that up to four participants can duke it out and determine who is the strongest.

In Brave Battle, players will also be able to customize their robot’s parts, enter different unit modes to support allies in battle, and modify their battle styles to exploit their enemy’s weaknesses.

Here’s what fans can expect from the game’s story:

Eons ago, Quarton was a peaceful planet protected by The Corekai, valiant fighters who were sworn to protect the planet’s most valuable resource—Tenkai Energy. However, The Corekai were overrun by The Corrupted, an evil army led by the ruthless warlord Vilius, leaving Quarton ravaged by centuries of war and destruction. Before Vilius delivered his final crushing blow, four valiant heroes known as the Tenkai Knights emerged to save the planet from Vilius’ grasp. With peace restored, the Corekai regrouped but the four Tenkai Knights were never to be seen again. Thousands of years later, Vilius has returned more powerful than ever with an even more malicious plot to not only seize control over Quarton but take over the planet Earth as well; will the Tenkai Knights prevail once again?

Tenkai Knights: Brave Battle will be available in North America this summer.
